johnnyr6 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Well myself, coulty and playsatan ignored the weather and headed down to scoobyshootout on sunday. Had a great day and the weather held out till after 2. Some amazing cars attended but must say.. Congratulations to Andy F. Quickest quarter of 9.33 secs without nitrous and running lowish boost ( or so i was told) and 2nd overall in the handling. Not to bad eh?? Was that with the 15" khumos?? Also the gobstopper was really impressive and looks and sounds absolutely the dogs. My highlight of the day was watching all the people jump out the way scared when it jumps forward when Olly put it into 1st. lol... Reminded me of a bike going into gear. It was also good to see Alan G's car run. It also went well, after a slow take off ( the new owner took it easy off the line as still getting used to it) it went on to post a terminal of 124mph (iirc). More to come from it methinks... We also got some good ideas for where to go with playsatans car and i rekon it'll be a nice wee beasty when we're finished with it.... Hopefully playsatan will post some pics soon. Johnny
frank c Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Aye, Well done Andy [Y] A local guy putting us well and truly on the map, must be a good feeling seeing the big budget guys in the rear view mirror Look forward to the pics too, especially if there is any of Mr Garrods car
higgy Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 well done Andy things can only get better me thinks. Oh and if your reading this Give me a ring as the car needs to to see yo usoon. All the best Simon
colin_ross Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 As above well done Andy. Would have said hello but looked like he had his hands full. Cracking day and at least the weather held out until some decent times had been posted. Came away with lots of ideas and the feeling that I'm not pushing the boat out far enough, some of these guys would show you how to really do it. Anyway here's some of the pics The Gobstopper, pass the tissues please Alan G's old whip not knowing whats happening to it Some old timer getting lost on the way to the shops. All his worthers originals must have fell off the dashboard as this is was a 9.3 second pass looks like. Oh yes and I love the prize he won for his efforts, Pro Class under 11.3s 1st place Sponsored by PowerStation -Trophy & Rolling Road Diagnostics Session with Power Run [] Winner- Andy Forrest 9.33s @ 161mph

fai17 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Well it looks like i missed alot and so sad i could make it with yous Colin... Welldone to Andy F for winning against the big budget boys. Gobstopper is truely stunning.

scientific steve Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 i didnt know that there was anybody else form "up north" going down to this [:S] no matter as i had a cracking day out and had a good few runs down the strip too, didnt fair as well on the circuit though [:|] think i'll be going to this next year too likes, but i doubt it will be as good a weekend as this knockhill on the sat then SSO on the sunday [] almost a carlsberg weekend
colin_ross Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 At the end of July Time Attack and the drift championship comes to Knockhill on the Saturday and Ten of the Best is on the Sunday. Better stock up on the red bull for that one.

james666 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 yeah well done Andy will be up soon for mapping!! oh me being dumb ass who is Alan G??
fai17 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Quote who is Alan G?? Alan Garrod who is on here as Alan G.....classic with near 600bhp or so but has sold it lately ...well respected too. What times did Alan's old car run?
james666 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 ah i think me know who he is!!!!! well kinda i know of a guy called Alan Garret!!! not sure if same guy or not!!!!![*-)]
AlanG Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Probably close enough james! My old car had the 3rd highest terminal of the day i believe with 130mph. New owner had 3rd gear synchro problems since the start of day and managed a best of 11.2 @ 130mph with a 2.0s 60ft time. Definitely a 10 second car in the wings. Billet selector rod broke on his final run, so that was his day ended. Still had everything in the car like spare wheel,jack, tools, interior etc plus it was his first time ever attempting a 1/4 mile, so did well considering. Shame i never kept it and ran a 1/4 mile. I might have been able to go on the 1/4 mile times list! []
